"We spoke to his doctors' team. His health condition is stable right now. There is nothing to worry about. He is undergoing treatment, and we have given assurance from the government side that whatever treatment is required, we, the government, will provide it to him immediately, wherever he needs consultation," Mahaling told ANI.

The doctors said that he is fine and responding. Whatever problem arises, they are responding to get to a solution," Odisha Congress president told reporters on Sunday.
